With respect to the craft that we so much adore and relentlessly pursue and spend our life savings on, I won't say never. With more and more cars becoming lighter with carbon fiber, fiberglass, etc, weight will become less more of an issue. Take the 2nd gen Camaro ProfeSSor for instance. It wasn't considered a SMOTY, but look at all the track inspired mods it had done to it. And, it still looked beautiful enough to be right there with the best of them. So, I can see our hobby leaning towards it in the future. 20 years ago, nobody saw restoring our cars to the sum of $400k-$500k either. So, 20 years from now it's scary to see what it will be like. Guys are already working on AWD classics. So, it's coming.
